TERT-locus SNPs and leukocyte telomere measures are reportedly associated with risks of
multiple cancers. Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, we analyzed∼ 480 …

Telomeres are involved in maintaining genomic stability. Previous studies have linked both
telomere length (TL) and telomere‐related genes with cancer. We evaluated associations …

Telomeres, consisting of TTAGGG nucleotide repeats and a protein complex at chromosome
ends, are critical for maintaining chromosomal stability. Genomic instability, following …

Telomerase and the control of telomere length are intimately linked to the process of
tumourigenesis in humans. Here I review the evidence that variation at the 5p15. 33 locus …

Cancer cells survive cellular crisis through telomere maintenance mechanisms. We report
telomere lengths in 18,430 samples, including tumors and non-neoplastic samples, across …

Telomere biology is associated with cancer initiation and prognosis. Collected data suggest
that blood cell telomere length (TL) can change over time, which may be related to …

Telomere-related genes play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the telomeric
structure that protects chromosome ends, and telomere dysfunction may lead to …

Telomeres cap chromosome ends and are critical for genomic stability. Many telomere‐
associated proteins are important for telomere length maintenance. Recent genome‐wide …

Background Several recent studies have provided evidence that polymorphisms in the
telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene sequence are associated with cancer …

Mutations in the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter are the most
frequent non-coding mutations in cancer, but their molecular mechanism in tumorigenesis …
